Consciousness as a Boundary Phenomenon: A Testable Framework Linking Quantum-Classical Transition Dynamics and Testable Predictions

Open Mind March 21, 2026 JH Saito preprint

What physical process underlies the transition between unconscious and conscious brain states? Indicators such as the Perturbational Complexity Index (PCI) can track consciousness level with clinical reliability, yet the mechanism that generates conscious experience remains unspecified. We develop a framework—the Boundary Process Hypothesis (BPH)—built on a single empirically risky conjecture:...
